Finished my latest illustration for Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Mag, this one for a great story by John R. Corrigan about a border security agent in Maine caught in a rapidly escalating situation. I had loads of fun rendering the snow (as a Canadian, I felt right at home drawing this in late January/early February) as well as drawing the big ol' Chevy Tahoe with its snow-covered tires. By the way, she's wearing snow pants, which is why her leg seems bulky (I probably could have highlighted this better).

On the whole, I'm quite happy with the beauty (and tension) in the scene...

My Urban Sketches

The Urban Sketchers Manifesto (from the USK blog)

1. We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation. 2. Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel. 3. Our drawings are a record of time and place. 4. We are truthful to the scenes we witness. 5. We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles. 6. We support each other and draw together. 7. We share our drawings online. 8.We show the world, one drawing at a time.
